Title: how to build injector tester or where to get one?
Post by: knowtwodrugs on June 20, 2007, 07:07:59 am

I saw one on Ebay a few weeks ago, I should've grabbed it up when I had the chance.  Does anyone know if there's a how to or any companies that make them?

Having built one myself let me add my voice to the chorus of warnings you'll find in that post:

WARNING WARNING WARNING:  you are dealing with extremely high pressures.  Pressures that can maim, blind, and kill.

- use only high pressure hydraulic fittings throughout.  If you're in the plumbing isle you're in the wrong place.
- wear safety equipment at all times... goggles and gloves.  Diesel at that pressure can penetrate skin very easily, and often amputation is the only cure.
- at that pressure diesel is often a fine mist and highly flamable (duh!)... not a good place to be puffing on a stogie.

I have a factory built one (meaning not homemade) in my garage. Haven't had time lately to use it though.
